Possibly a stupid question, but I'm baffled.

How in the world did I get a positive FRER the same day my beta measured only 9? Don't you have to have a level of 25 in your system for a positive FRER?

    Some tests can read a level of 5. I got my BFP on an Equate test (Walmart brand). My beta was 8.

    There was someone on TTGP about a year ago that had a beta of 6 with a positive FRER...I think some of them must be abnormally sensitive.

    I've had positive FRERs, only to go in the next day and get a beta of 10. Those tests are wicked sensitive - too sensitive, according to my OB. He sort of hates them for that reason (I get his point; I don't totally agree with it, but I get it.)

    When is your next draw?

    there was someone on 1st tri the other day who had a 1st beta of 8 (or something) and then a second beta well in the hundreds.

    eta: just searched for the post and her first beta wasn't quite so low. Still, though, everything crossed for you, boxer.

    I mean, I've taken several brands of tests and they're all positive, so I'm just confused how that all works I guess.  I suppose they are just more sensitive than the box reads. Weird.

    I had my 2nd draw on Thursday (first was Monday) and I hear those results this coming Monday. I am so nervous. :-/

    Oh, I think they are all really sensitive, I just used FRER because that's the test I tend to go for.

    I'll be thinking about you, I'm hoping for great numbers.
